Hi,
I have been studying, reading the book and threads and am about to begin this life-style change, praying it to last forever.
I don't want to fail this time and I know that the hardest thing to do is to start.
I am a Christian. Happily married with 3 children and I work at home. I suffer from a few illness that had me bedridden or next to for about 3 years. I am happy to report that I am almost completely recovered. Thanks to the Lord. I would like to have a female friend that has been successful enough to truly help and encourage me along this path.
I have to cut out carbs for my health sake! Everyday that I eat carbs I suffer three days with pain and fatique terribly. But you know the rollar coaster effect. I can't seem to get off of it.
I sure hope someone serious responds. I would be happy to have you on my buddy list of yahoo if it seems we hit off nicely.

Thank you,
jimsbride

Well, I'm not successful enough to be your 'guide' through lo carbing, but I am where you are at in terms of weight and I'm starting over again. I also have 2 kids. I do know what you can and can't eat, since I have done lo carbing before and have read all the books. If you want to chat and be buddies, just come to my journal... Good luck losing weight!

Well, i have been LC'ing off and on for years. have been very successful in thepast. I have been off the wagon for almost a year though,and have regained, but I am gonna do this!!
I am a 57 year old mom and grandma, with a young husband, so maybe I can be a bit of encouragement to ya! i do know the plan inside and out, I was an atkins fan in 1985 when everyone thought it was unhealthy..I lost 70 pounds then and kept it off for 2 years! So, I know it works,,,if we work it!!
hang in there, you can do it!! And we are all here to help!
I am a yahoo buddy too,,,
